Africa is experiencing a digital awakening one driven by innovation, resilience, and the unstoppable leadership of African women. As technology reshapes global economies, SheAfrique is creating a powerful platform for women to lead Africa’s digital transformation.
On Saturday, 22nd November 2025 at 12PM GMT+2, SheAfrique hosts a 90-Minute Dynamic Summit themed “Harnessing Sustainable Women-Led Growth in Africa Through the Digital Economy.” This virtual summit brings together women innovators, policymakers, digital entrepreneurs, development partners, and corporate leaders to co-design Africa’s next era of inclusive digital growth.
Why This Summit Matters
Africa’s digital economy could add billions of dollars to the continent’s GDP in the coming decade. Yet, women—who form more than half of Africa’s population remain underrepresented in digital innovation and policy influence.
This summit aims to change that.
It goes beyond dialogue to spark action, investment, and collaborative solutions, positioning African women as architects of a dynamic, sustainable digital future.

Building a Digitally Empowered Future
SheAfrique believes Africa’s digital future must be inclusive. When women thrive in the digital economy, societies become stronger, economies scale faster, and sustainable solutions emerge.
This summit celebrates and elevates the women shaping that future—innovators, disruptors, and leaders building a digital Africa that works for all.
